The Federal Government says banks will open for commercial operations in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun States beginning Monday, May 4.
The National Coordinator of the Presidential Task Force
on COVID-19, Dr Sani Aliyu, disclosed this in Abuja on Wednesday.
Aliyu said banks would be allowed to open between 8am and
2pm in the three places.
He said, “In terms of the banks, this continues to be a
recurring issue for all of us. We have been in touch with the CBN governor.
“Moving on from Monday, banks will open and they will
operate normal services from 8am to 2pm. That is six hours but there will be
the usual restrictions. For instance, self-distancing and the use of
temperature monitors, hand hygiene, and making sure the capacities of banking
halls are restricted so that people do not come together.”
It will be recalled that President Muhammadu Buhari
during his address to the nation on Monday night, announced the gradual easing
of the more than four-week lockdown in Abuja, Lagos and Ogun as part of
measures to curb the spread of the pandemic.
He, however, imposed an 8pm to 6am curfew in the three
places while mandating the use of face masks in public places.
